More Than Twice the National Average

The Policy Real-Name System is a system that records, manages, and discloses the key policy officials and implementation processes in accordance with the "Regulation on Administrative Efficiency and Promotion of Collaboration."


The county aims to enhance accountability among officials and increase trust in its policies by transparently disclosing decision-makers, participants in execution, project details, and the history of implementation.


The 87 cases disclosed this year consist of: ▲ 31 major county policies and pledge projects ▲ 24 large-scale budget projects with investments of 1 billion won or more ▲ 2 research projects with budgets of at least 50 million won ▲ 30 enactments or revisions of autonomous regulations directly related to residents' daily lives.


In particular, these include large-scale key projects such as the full public operation of the bus system, designation as a special educational development zone, and the establishment of a wood culture experience center.


Uiryeong County selected and disclosed a record 88 cases in 2023, nearly doubling from 46 cases in 2022. The county continued to maintain the highest level by releasing 86 cases in 2024 and 87 cases this year. This is seen not merely as an expansion, but as the establishment of a sustainable and systematic "policy transparency system."


At a recent meeting, County Governor Oh Taewan stated, "A good policy should be remembered by residents along with the name of the official in charge. We will further strengthen transparency and accountability so that each policy can become part of the administrative history of Uiryeong in the future."



Meanwhile, Uiryeong County also operates the "Citizen-Initiated Policy Real-Name System" year-round, which allows residents to request the disclosure of projects they are interested in, subject to review and approval.
